I am going to be in STT to work for several months and my company rents condos at the three places listed above. Does anyone have any suggestions - which is on the best beach, best location, best actual condo?

Thanks

sapphire village has great veiws and is a 3 min walk down to the beach. crystal cove is right down at beach level and is less than one minute walk. i have stayed at both and both are nice w/ pools... but i think i prefer the views from sapphire village. im not sure where sea cliff is.

I vote for Sapphire village -

like Lip, I have not eard of Sea Cliff...but the view from Sapphire Village is incredible (I once lived there - many years ago)...and the breeze is nice. And, in a big storm or hurricane, you want to be on a hill :>

Where is Sea Cliff?

Isn't Sea Cliff off of Bolongo Bay, down past the Watergate Villas and the southwesternmost end of the bay?

I live in Sea cliff. It is a gated community which is just pass regatta condos, You are able to use the 3 different pools at Sea gate ,regatta and Watergate. It is just pass Bolongo so on south-east side. If you are coming with the program working at the hospital there are several nurses who live here that do that. The condos are almost all 1 bedroom units, the buildings have 3 levels and are on the water. They have a view of Buck Island and can see the cruise ships coming and going. There is a beach here but not a sandy beach, is a coral ruble one. We have snorkeled when the surf is calm from here many times and have seen many fish and turtles etc. but many days to rough out there!
The units are well maintained. This is more a residential spot then Sapphire beach. Which is a very beautiful beach with a great view with many tourist. So much depends on what your looking for.

I agree with Bobbi, it depends on what and where you're looking. Sapphire village and Crystal Cove and closer to Red Hook on the east end. There are a lot of restaurants, bars and the ferry to St. John within walking distance from Sapphire, although I don't recommend walking especially at night.

Sea Cliff is further away but there is plenty to do at Iggies at Bolongo. A little more sedate but a lovely spot.
